Linkages in Polytope Graphs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A graph is k-linked if any k disjoint vertex-pairs can be joined by k disjoint paths. We improve a lower bound on the linkedness of polytopes slightly, which results in exact values for the minimal linkedness of 7-, 10and 13-dimensional polytopes. We analyze in detail linkedness of polytopes on at most (6d + 7)/5 vertices. In that case, a sharp lower bound on minimal linkedness is derived, and examples meeting this lower bound are constructed. These examples contain a class of examples due to Gallivan.

Lifting and separation procedures for the cut polytope
The max-cut problem and the associated cut polytope on complete graphs have been extensively studied over the last 25 years. However, little research has been conducted for the cut polytope on arbitrary graphs. In this study we describe new separation and lifting procedures for the cut polytope on such graphs. These procedures exploit algorithmic and structural results known for the cut polytop...
متن کاملOn the Stable Set Polytope of Claw-Free Graphs
In this thesis we focus our attention on the stable set polytope of claw-free graphs. This problem has been open for many years and albeit all the efforts engaged during those last three years, it is still open. This does not mean that no progress has been made and we hope to the contrary that this thesis contains some important advances and that the reader will share this point of view. Unders...
متن کاملGenerating facets for the cut polytope of a graph by triangular elimination
The cut polytope of a graph arises in many fields. Although much is known about facets of the cut polytope of the complete graph, very little is known for general graphs. The study of Bell inequalities in quantum information science requires knowledge of the facets of the cut polytope of the complete bipartite graph or, more generally, the complete k-partite graph. Lifting is a central tool to ...
متن کاملThe k-assignment polytope
In this paper we study the structure of the k-assignment polytope, whose vertices are the m× n (0,1)-matrices with exactly k 1:s and at most one 1 in each row and each column. This is a natural generalisation of the Birkhoff polytope and many of the known properties of the Birkhoff polytope are generalised. A representation of the faces by certain bipartite graphs is given. This tool is used to...
متن کاملOn the Graph of the Pedigree Polytope
Pedigree polytopes are extensions of the classical Symmetric Traveling Salesman Problem polytopes whose graphs (1-skeletons) contain the TSP polytope graphs as spanning subgraphs. While deciding adjacency of vertices in TSP polytopes is coNP-complete, Arthanari has given a combinatorial (polynomially decidable) characterization of adjacency in Pedigree polytopes. Based on this characterization,...
